Issues with horizontal hydrostatic testing of tower-type equipment
Thread Content
How should support be considered during the horizontal hydrostatic testing of tower equipment?
I have seen the tower pressure testing; I’m not sure what those supports are called. They are supports at the bottom, with two round wheels on top of them, and one such support is placed every 8 meters.
That should be the roller frame used for welding container groups.
It must refer to the hydrostatic test when the tower is not installed! If so, the number of supports should be determined based on the diameter and wall thickness of the tower. The supports should be placed as close as possible to the welds, but not at the weld sites themselves.
What structural form is better for support? What calculations and analyses are needed?

Calculations need to be carried out first, mainly regarding the total weight; thereafter, a saddle is added below it. There are standard catalogs specifying the exact quantity and size required, and pressure testing is commonly done on the tower while it is in a horizontal position, based on the total weight
Where can I find standard catalogs with specific quantities and sizes?
JB/T4712.1-2007 JB/T 4712.1-2007 Container Supports – Part 1: Saddle Supports. Check this standard; the design follows its specifications
